Heavy Chenille Eyelet Velvet Throw - Beetroot

This is a heavy chenille velvet throw in a deep beetroot red, woven from 100% polyester. Chenille is a pile yarn, so the surface catches the light and shifts tone as it drapes, giving the flat red a mottled, slightly wine-dark depth rather than a single even colour. It comes in two sizes, 130x180cm and 150x200cm, so you can pick the smaller for a single throw over a chair or the larger to reach across a sofa or the foot of a bed.

A throw this weight earns its place on a sofa you actually use. The beetroot red sits comfortably against neutral walls and natural wood, and works with warm or muted schemes without shouting over them. Drape it along the back of a two or three seater, fold it over the arm of an armchair, or lay it across a bed for an extra layer on cooler evenings. Because polyester chenille holds its shape and does not crease the way linen does, it looks tidy even after it has been used.

The pile is soft to the hand and dense enough to feel substantial across your lap. Polyester is hard-wearing and resists everyday wear, which matters on a piece that gets pulled about, sat on and shrugged off day to day. The colour is consistent across the whole cloth, edge to edge. We do not hold care instructions for this throw, so treat it gently and check the sewn-in label before washing. It sits within our wider Heavy Chenille range, so if you like the fabric you can build a matching look across the room.

What is chenille and how does it feel?

Chenille is a fabric woven from a soft pile yarn that gives it a plush, velvety surface. It feels soft against the skin and has a subtle sheen that shifts as the light moves across it.

What sizes does this throw come in?

It is available in two sizes, 130x180cm and 150x200cm. The smaller suits a single chair or the end of a bed, and the larger reaches comfortably across a two or three seater sofa.

Is polyester chenille durable enough for daily use?

Yes. Polyester is a hard-wearing fibre that stands up well to everyday handling, so this throw copes with being sat on, pulled about and used regularly without losing its shape.

Will this throw crease easily?

Polyester holds its shape well and does not crease the way natural fibres such as linen do, so it tends to look tidy even after it has been used and folded over furniture.

What colour is it in real life?

It is a deep beetroot red. Because the chenille pile catches the light, the tone reads as a rich, mottled wine-red rather than one flat colour across the surface.
